Welcome, fellow travelers, as you watch us stumble through existence… We’re here, so what the hell do we do now?
A
EXISTENCE IS BIG
Two ridiculous men attempt to ask the question “Now that we’re alive, how should we live?” We’ll touch all the untouchables: culture, politics, ethics, religion… let’s get cancelled together!
B
WHERE ARE WE GOING?
We’re all careening toward the sweet release of death. Since we’re on the way, what sort of main quests—and side quests—do we actually want to go on, both individually and as a society?
C
FAITH & DOUBT
Get comfortable being uncomfortable. Certainty is hard—maybe even impossible. We’ll chase authentic, unshallow answers… even if we’re pretty shallow ourselves.
D
LEAN IN
Most lessons come from falling short. We talk openly about mistakes, scars, and the wisdom we hope to gain from learning the hard way. The well-lived life is dangerous. Live it anyway.
E
AMERICAN EMPIRE
The older generations are taking their place in history and memory as time refuses to slow for anyone. They’ve handed us—for better and for worse—this strange place. Can we find a path forward that conserves what’s worth keeping while grappling with a profoundly disturbed but beautiful world?
WHAT TO EXPECT… WE HAVE NO CLUE WHAT WE’RE DOING, SO WHY SHOULD YOU?
HONEST CONVERSATIONS
Or at least as honest as they can be…
THERE’S A LOT OF NOISE OUT THERE
So please listen to ours…
THINK DEEP
Long-form discussions that are just the right amount of way too long.
SELF-DEPRECATING HUMOR
Laugh at us while we wrestle with ideas way above our pay grade
STUBBORN HOPE
Cynicism might be rational, but we’re chasing the impossible dream anyway.
What Is The Impossible Dream?
Two un-distinguished gentleman and absolutely unqualified man-children—who definitely should have stuck with therapy instead of inflicting a podcast on the world—decided this was a good idea… You’re f^#!ng welcome.
We're talking about Taylor (a college dropout who almost became a biochemist until he realized he'd rather chase "meaning" and rack up existential regret) and Tony (a political philosophy major drowning in student loans who somehow ended up crushing his soul as a government contractor and still can't read a room). Between us, we've got failed side/main quests, a millennial divorce (sorry, ‘conscious decoupling’), bad decisions, and a collective talent for sprinting full-speed down every inexplicably sticky blind alley we come across. We thought we had it figured out. Spoiler: We didn't. We still don't.
So now we sit down, hit record, and fumble our way through the most annoying questions imaginable: Now that we're here and inexplicably alive, what the hell are we supposed to do? How do we not completely lose it in a world that's exhausting, broken, and often screaming at us to just meh-up and scroll?
The name comes from that cheesy-but-iconic song in Man of La Mancha—"The Impossible Dream." You know, the one where Don Quixote is 100% certifiable and delusional, charging at windmills and dreaming of nobility while everyone (reasonably) tells him to get real. Rational take? He's nuts. Cynicism is correct. The world is what it is, and it's not getting any prettier. We're not even going to pretend cynicism is wrong. It's the mature, adult position. We're just too stubborn—or too dumb—to accept it. This podcast is our pathetic, slightly deranged refusal to let nihilism get the last word. We're chasing an impossible dream not because we're wide-eyed optimists (please), but because giving in feels like the coward’s way out… Also, we're clearly masochists.
If you're tired, confused, or just enjoy watching two overgrown boys wrestle with ideas they're hilariously underqualified for—welcome. Laugh at us early and often (we deserve it). Stick around if, by some miracle, something we say accidentally makes sense or offers five minutes of not feeling totally alone and confused.
Glad you're here.
Welcome to our little life raft on the high seas of existence. Glad you're here. Don’t eat the fish, it was here when we got here and we’re afraid to touch it… God help us all.
P.S. How many metaphors are too many? Aren’t dashes and ellipses the best form of punctuation… don’t know the correct punctuation, throw a dot-dot-dot at it! —Shut up! We nailed it…
